Words of advice from our Head of Design, Jon Peterson, on succeeding at a startup: “To thrive at a startup, it’s essential to embrace an ownership mentality. Joining a startup means betting on its success, so it’s crucial to be genuinely excited about the business and its mission. Moreover, the nature of startups is having to play a lot of roles, deal with frequent ambiguity, and take on tasks that might seem beneath you. If you’re just looking to be an employee of a company, that’s going to be frustrating. But if you see yourself as an owner with a direct stake in the business, it becomes much more natural to embrace that role.” Jon’s been a part of the Safara team since 2021, where he’s been designing Safara for web and iOS, making our UX and UI as clean and simple to use as possible. #MeetTheTeam #StartUp #TravelTech
